# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery, sautéing for 5 to 7 minutes until vegetables soften.
02 -
Whisk plain yogurt with 60 ml warm water until slightly thinned and smooth.
03 -
Add shredded chicken, 4 cups chicken broth, bay leaves, dried thyme, and yogurt mixture to the sautéed vegetables. Bring mixture to a gentle boil.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk the two large eggs until light and frothy.
05 -
Gradually whisk gluten-free flour, baking powder, dried parsley, minced chives, salt, pepper, and 3/4 cup chicken broth into the eggs until a smooth, sticky dough forms.
06 -
Lightly grease a small or medium cookie scoop with oil. Drop dumpling dough directly into the simmering broth. Re-grease scoop as needed to prevent sticking.
07 -
Simmer uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes until dumplings are cooked through, then cover and simmer an additional 5 minutes.
08 -
Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Use homemade chicken broth for enhanced flavor. Adjust thyme quantity to taste. Gluten-free dumpling dough will be sticky; keep your scoop greased to ease handling.
